That club option in 2017 — call me crazy, but I believe Hoynes made a typo with that 2117 thing — would have been Santana’s first year of free agency. No word on the money yet. There will be a press conference this afternoon.

In his first full season in the majors last year, Santana, who just turned 26, hit .259/.351/.457 with 27 homers. So far this year he’s 4 for 16 with two homers, both coming on Sunday.

I think Hoynes got his math wrong. That looks like a 105 year extension to me. The Indians must be expecting both great performance and medical breakthroughs. Perhaps one day, players of a certain age will all undergo Carlos Santana surgery.
